Beaumont Family Law Attorney

Dedicated Texas Family Lawyer

If you think that a contested divorce is in your future, you should give careful thought to the attorney you hire to represent you. Some attorneys rarely, if ever, try cases, seeking instead to meet the other side halfway. However, if the person on the other side is unreasonable, a negotiated settlement may prove impossible. At Portner ♦ Bond, PLLC, our mission is to protect you and provide experienced guidance in child support, child custody, division of property, and other family law matters so that you can receive the fresh start that you deserve.

High Asset Divorce

It goes without saying that divorce is never easy. This is especially true if the parties involved share an unusually high net worth. Questions concerning the division of complex assets (i.e. stock options, trust interests, etc.), prenuptial or post-marital agreements and/or business valuations when a family-owned business is at stake are time-consuming and exceedingly complex. The attorneys at Portner ♦ Bond, PLLC have 30 years’ combined experience with high asset divorce proceedings — contact them today to get started.

Child Custody

One of the most important, and contested, issues during a divorce is child custody. We can help you explore the different possibilities allowed under Texas child custody laws and develop a parenting plan designed to protect the well-being of your child or children. A court will take a number of factors into consideration in determining what is in the child’s “best interest.” These factors include the desires of the child, the stability of the parents’ homes, the plans for the child by both parents, and any physical or emotional danger posed by a parent. Additional factors can include who has been making educational and medical decisions for the child, which parent cares for the child on a daily basis, who participates in extracurricular activities with the child and the recommendations of child custody experts.

The state of Texas generally presumes that custody will be shared. Our job is to make sure that nothing is presumed and that the child’s health, well-being and future are as bright as possible. Speak to our child custody lawyers regarding your domestic law needs.

Child Support & Spousal Support

Questions of support are also a very emotional issue in divorce. Child support and spousal support are determined by a number of factors. These issues can be complex and require a thorough, experienced approach to ensure that your future, and the future of your children, is as free of financial stress as possible. The best way to come to an understanding of what you might expect on support issues following a divorce is to speak with one of our family law attorneys. While we can’t promise you a certain outcome to these issues, we can promise that we will do everything possible to protect your best interests throughout the process.

Division of Assets

It is important to remember that Texas is a “community property” state, meaning that all income earned and property acquired by either spouse during the course of the marriage is considered community property and belongs to both spouses equally. During a divorce proceeding, income earned and property acquired must be split equally between each spouse. Likewise, any and all debts incurred by either spouse during the marriage are considered community debts and belong equally to both parties. Nevertheless, a Texas court may issue a ruling that deviates from the tenets of “community property” distribution if he or she finds “just” and “right” reasons to do so. Contact an experienced family attorney today to learn more about asset division in the state of Texas.
